Kuwaiti air defenses shoot down U.S. jets during Iran attacks

Three U.S. Air Force fighter jets were downed by Kuwaiti air defenses amid escalating hostilities following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and retaliatory attacks on Israel and U.S. bases. President Trump confirmed ongoing combat operations, while reports indicate that Iran's supreme leader was killed. The conflict led to American casualties, and reactions in the U.S. were divided, with Congress poised to vote on a resolution requiring presidential approval for further military action. Public sentiment among Iranian-Americans varied, with both hope for freedom and fears of conflict escalation.
